Radio spectrum that can be received by the Newport receiver

Standard Kenwood R-5000 Tuning RangeThe specified tuning range of a standard Kenwood R-5000 communications receiver is 100 kHz to 30000 kHz (30 MHz). Despite the manufacturer's specification, the tuning range actually begins at 30 kHz. 100 kHz probably is specified, because the sensitivity is poor at lower frequencies. This tuning range includes those parts of the radio frequency spectrum called Low Frequencies (LF), Medium Frequencies (MF), and High Frequencies (HF). The High Frequency portion also is commonly called shortwave.
